Chrysler Group, the U.S. unit of Germany's DaimlerChrysler AG, may extend its "employee pricing" deals through September.

Chrysler implemented the program -- under which 2005 models are made available to customers at the same prices as those paid by Chrysler employees -- in July, following the success of a similar program started by General Motors Corp. the previous month. The program is designed to clear inventories that were bloated because of a sluggish first half for sales.
